FGF-21 z-scores obtained on specimens from 155 patients investigated for mitochondrial disease. FGF-21 values were normalised by log-transformation, and z-scores were calculated based on age-dependent distributions. Patients were divided into a mitochondrial disease (MD) group consisting of those with mitochondrial DNA or maintenance defects, 30 patients without MD, and 24 patients who were deemed likely to have MD.
